The next steps for preparing the reinfusion are
summarized in the Warning window.
Check that the double-chamber bag with the
physiological saline solution is hanging on the IV-
pole.
Check whether the reinfusion line is connected to
the 1500 ml compartment of the saline bag and
the seal of the saline bag is broken.
Open the clamps of the reinfusion line.
Take the buffer bag from the load cell. Remove the
buffer line from the buffer bag and connect the
buffer line to the 1500 ml compartment of the
saline bag.
Open the break seal of the saline bag and open the
clamp on the buffer line.
Close the clamp on the plasma line directly after
the plasma filter.
Turn over the plasma filter, the precipitate filter
and the heparin adsorber.
After performing all steps, confirm with the
key.
Start plasma reinfusion by selecting the <
Start
Plasma
> menu item in the menu bar and pressing the
key.
If the precipitate filter pressure rises during the plasma
reinfusion because of the high filter saturation, the
reinfusion flow should be reduced.
CAUTION
Risk to patient due to an excessively fast plasma
reinfusion. Some patients experience flushing on
the arm used for reinfusion and in the throat area,
nausea and/or headaches.
Reduce the plasma reinfusion flow to approx.
20 ml/min and increase the blood flow as much
as possible (approx. 80 ml/min), so that flows
similar to those during therapy are achieved.
OK
Warning
W11:
1) Connect reinfusion and buffer lines to saline
solution
2) Clamp plasma line at out of plasma filter
3) Turn plasma and precipitate filters
4) Turn heparin adsorber
